An Introduction to Webtask
Webtask (webtask.io) is a platform for creating serverless endpoints. With a simple CLI and (totally optional) online editor, you can quickly create serverless code to handle most nearly any task. Webtask is especially good for quick prototyping of functionality without needing to go through the bore of setting up a server. I'll walk people through the installation of the CLI, demonstrate how to create a webtask, and show off the online editor as well. I'll then show some demos of things that can be built in webtask while also discussing how it can be used in apps for user-based customization.
